I ordered the minero quesadilla and my friend ordered the chicken chimichanga. I have to say that this is one of the best quesadillas I've had in a very long time. It has a cheese crust that just makes it a 10/10. My friend and I actually only ate 1/2 of our meals and we had them for leftovers the next day just warmed in the microwave and it was still delicious. We talked about going back again on the same trip which says a lot. Without a shadow of a doubt I recommend this place.

Our waitress was very sweet and accommodating! To start, they have so many different margarita options. I went with a mix of the watermelon and kiwi frozen margarita and it was BOMB. Started off with that and the chips and salsa (which is not included but was only $6 for a large portion). You could tell the salsa was freshly made with fresh ingredients. I ordered the chicken chimichanga and my boyfriend ordered the quesadilla. I of course tried his dish, and it was so delicious and cheesy and melted. This was my first time having a chimichanga, and it was so good. So flavorful and filling. I can't wait to bring my friends back here!

Fortunately we were early enough to get a place to sit before the line formed out the door. The biggest complaint was the service. They appeared to be terribly understaffed for even a regular day. Service was sooooo slow. Hard to get even water refills. The food did arrive hot. It was very typical Mexican style food. I had a chicken macho burrito. The chicken was overcooked and it had a two shrimp in the filling. Fortunately I have no allergies to shellfish and actually like shrimp but his could have been disastrous for someone else. The restaurant was very loud and could also use some updates. In spite of the large crowd, and being grossly overworked, the staff remained helpful and friendly to the best of their ability which I give them kudos for considering the situation. Probably won't come back.

They certainly have food other than tacos. A lot of the clientele are Mexican Americans and if you want to speak Spanish the two ladies fixing the food would be glad to accommodate you. Me?

They had a nice selection of drinks and food to choose from. Our server was very nice and she always came back to check on us. The atmosphere was cool. Nice restaurant with a nice bar area. The food was very good. Different but very tasty. The drinks were also very good.

Not sure what was right with this place besides the tap water and the amazing hostess…read more The drinks were decent, and the service was good, so I'll give them credit for that. But the seating? I'm not even sure I'd call those booths. Somehow, they managed to make them less comfortable than the stools at the bar. We ordered three different tacos, and every single one was overwhelmingly spicy. Not the kind of heat that complements the flavor, but the kind that completely destroys it. At that point, I couldn't tell whether the spice was masking the flavor or hiding the fact that there wasn't any to begin with. Oddly enough, everything seemed to be missing salt, except the chips and salsa, which had plenty. Unfortunately, the chips were burnt, so even that was a disappointment. Three stars for the friendly service, decent drinks, and especially the fantastic hostess. As for the food, I'd rather taste what I'm eating than have my taste buds assaulted into submission.

Yummy! They have many, many brands of beer. The service is okay. Really depends on when you go.

Even the kids chicken stop basket is some of the best chicken I've eaten in years picking off my son's plate. Their Duck burger? Or whatever is incredible. You can get a half portion slider during happy hour. Great happy hour for you and your kids. Very family friendly. Just great vibes, friendly and attentive staff, and most importantly the food. You absolutely cannot go wrong choosing to eat here. Even if the place is packed and parking lot is full don't be discouraged as they'll exceed your expectations once you get inside. (We went there three times the 5 days we stayed in the area. Twice with just my family and once with a very large group.)

Tacos la Familia seemed like a decent choice considering their rating and proximity. I found my visit fine. I came before 5PM hoping to get dinner for my family. I ordered the Birria tacos and a chicken burrito. Total cost was just about $28.00. The service was average. Not particularly friendly but not rude either. The tables were clean and there were only two other folks there. Food was prepared and ready to go in about 10-15 minutes. There was no real ambiance as no one was there. Parking was easy albeit on dirt. You can pay by card but with a 4% fee. Overall, it was okay but we are open to trying different places.

The man identified to be the manager said they usually put the blind behind the booth but when I pointed out that if were not damaged and missing the protective end cap then it wouldn't have scratched my husband so badly, he was very dismissive and told the waitress in Spanish to give us our check so we could leave.

The host was a guy with a pad and pencil, and he was getting it DONE! We were seated after about 10 minutes, which is seriously impressive for the amount of people there. We got a margarita pitcher which is perfect for a group of 3-4 people. We got about a margarita and a half each out of it. And they were everything you could want in a margarita. I usually get a few steak tacos, but the quesadilla caught my eye on the à la carte menu, because it was chorizo. I got 2 steak tacos and the chorizo quesadilla, and they were fabulous.
